Geo. Shearer's team bolted from him
last Friday night as he was unhitching
to 60 home, aud they took spin around
the Fairview country finally bringing up
at the Mt. Idaho stable about midnight

Tom Dem pster, the Oscar Wilde of the
mountains was out from Elk city on
hurried business trip last week and left
some "scads" for this aesthetic journal.
He has been mining on Redhorse this
season with more than average luck and
is now busy on Relief creek putting up
an arastra to test a good quartz ledge he
and Mr.. Cant found this summer.
Mr.. Brown has made application to
the Interior department for permission
to establish stage station on the reser-
vation, at Willow creek, midway be-
tween Cottonwood and the Spring
ranch. In the event of his securing the
necessary permit Mr.. Brown will at
once establish the station, so that there

The o. R. & n. Co., have filed articles
OF incorporation for the building of two
more railroads from Lewiston to Camas
prairie. One of them is to end here
and the other is to go on to Salmon river
and up to the mouth of the Little Sal
mon. When all these projected roads
are built there won't be room enough
left for Us fellows with big feet to turn
around without falling over the rails.
Mr.. Mark ham has sent us some huge
potatoes of the old fashioned Pink-eye
variety that are the largest on record OF
this seasons growth. He also has a
cabbage head which weighs thirty five
pounds, on ten pounds larger than the
premium cabbage exhibited at the lower
country agricultural fairs. Camas prai-

coast and we have the truck here tC
prove it.
Some OF the late sown grain out or
the point is hardly ripe enough to cut
and owing to the recent rains there is
not much hope of its ripening, and il
will have to be cut for feed. The head
ers and tlreshers are still busy, and as

and converted into -four and pork, it i.

There are good reasons to hope tina

a few years. 1t will have the requisite
